In this discussion, we will explore a method for assessing constitution – regardless of zodiacal preference. It is a day-month-year tool combined with the influence of planets upon the ascendant. We will confirm astrological considerations with physical signs. And, just for fun, discuss the problem of reduction vs. complexity in the consideration of constitution with respect to beliefs about regularly reproducible results as a harbinger of truth. This latter point leads us to the value of the harmonizing technique in the use of foods and herbs for care of the person.
